>>714513031
ESA Legends lives rent free in Edenal's head for some reason and was the cause for everything going wrong with ESA and caused its almost death as he transferred everything from ESA Legends to the main show under the pretense of "Well it worked there!" (such as no 24 hours) and it backfired.

I mig

IM A HEADBANGA

>>714513237
ESA have their own blonde girl.
>>714513457
Nah, she's just there as a kind of failed thing.

Seriously though ESA should just go "Here's our new mascot, Pear!" not like the company can sue them they're out of business.

>>714513554
As bad as ESA might get, it could always be worse

>>714513554

>>714513637

doubt they'd care, but better safe than sorry

>>714513605
They don't show her its like she's a leftover emote

>>714513605
She's not very attractive... But I think she could be easily redisigned.

>>714513809
These days she pops up at the end of the event doing the crying emote but that's it.

They used to have her showing up in the overlay in years gone by.

>>714513605
That's somehow even sadder than Plum sticking around despite being from a failed and forgotten game

>>714513545
Edenal lives rent free in your head.
And im not talking about a 2 room apartment.
He occupies the whole floor.

I don't like ThaRixer

>think that's a classic PS1 character model alright
>look down
>PlayStation 2

>>714513895
Plum only sticks around due to /v/. You can tell they actively wish you would stop bringing her up.

I quite liked the schedule idea today. One very long run on stream two countered with a bunch of very short runs on stream one. Though I just like days where its all short runs, ESA has done it before, GDQ does it sometimes for overnight runs. Feels like what a speedrun even should be, like two or three runs in an hour, not one run every two hours.

>>714513934
It's a PS1 game being run on a PS2.

>>714513694
What is the matter, Anon. Do you not enjoy hilarious Twitch memes?

>>714513934
It's being played on PS2
Don't ask

Looks like it fucking runs slower than PS1 racing games.

This game runs like shit.

>>714513934
It also runs like shit for some reason

>>714513929
I don't like that the thread becomes filled with his youtube cocksuckers

>>714513637
HERE COMES PEAR!

>>714513984
Short retro games are almost always the best runs, and if they're not they're over quick

>>714513640
Somehow people are mad that this is never gonna happen again at ESA.

I migged late

>>714513531
スレッド入りは終わりました。

Where did they find this kusoge? This is unwatchable.

>>714513640
At least their failure to keep corporate sponsors makes it unlikely that this will happen again in exactly the same way.

>>714514086
I prefer oranges

>>714514021
What's there to ask?
If it's played not on the original hardware, the answer is almost always "faster loads".

>>714513904
Hi Planks
>>714513929
He doesn't like you either
>>714513934
I had to check because the graphics were so shit but it was a PS1 release, so I assume they're just playing it on PS2 for speed reasons.

>>714513858
She is really cute. Cutest girl in speedrunning and she doesnt even show it. Also not annoying. Big win.

>looks like Sonic R on molasses with closed boundaries and a MK64 overlay

>PS1 game
Yeah checks out, looks like one of those extremely early PS1 games when no one quite knew how to do 3D graphi-
>released in 2001

>>714514093
Yeah Retro blocks are the best, I always like GDQ's NES block that they always do, and how ESA sometimes let TinyTim do an Old PC games or Spectrum block.

>>714513895
>make a game

>>714514241
>Cutest girl in speedrunning
Not a speedrunner.

>>714513950
Then they should come up with a new CUTE mascot, simple as. Not some corporate safe genderless quirky non-entity.

This relay is gonna be so good

>>714514364
She has the wr in a game. The one she ran yesterday or 2 days ago

>>714514351
Ninja OR DIE

>>714514351
They did a video for each character, they were all shown at ESA but only the Plum one took off.

The thing that gets me is they never tried to course correct with it, no soundbyte at the end of the video, no getting ESA to talk about it after the video, nothing.

>>714514306
PS1 had a COLOSSAL amount of garbage released on it. The giant selling consoles always do, the PS2 and Wii are also terrible for it.

>>714514243
>>714514306
>>714514034
Yeah, pretty strange
>PAL only PS game
Oh, nevermind, it all makes perfect sense now.

>>714514249
It fits perfectly, she's the Shadow the Hedgehog to Plum's Sonic.

>>714513554
would

>>714513950
We never will

>>714514206
That basic bitch deflection confirms it.
Rent free!

>>714513950
Plum is and always will be superior to forced meme Goosebert

>>714514490
I heard they played The LAST Ninja earlier today. I hope no one died...

oh no

More like Manly Maeve

Manly Maeve enters the ring!

>>714514459
Same old shit of picking a game that was never alive to get an easy WR.

I do not like the attempted "cutesy girl" looks from this guy in the middle. Downright uncanny.

Manly Maeve is back

Uh-oh...

TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

>>714514505
PS2 and Wii went on forever too, I think their last games were both around 2017 or something.

>>714514364
Didnt she run 2 games at this speedrunning event?

Where is the Plum cutout now, I wonder?

>>714514708
cope

>>714514351
I thought it was a platformer called Here Comes Plum. Like a mascot platformer, not a roguelike Celeste thing.

was looking foward to this, and a fucking tranny. They invade and ruin everything.

>>714514249
This needs to go places.

>>714513950
Then they should come up with a better mascot than blonde girl who cries at the end of stream 2 or goose from Untitled Goose Game that's basically their Poochie.

>>714514784
Celeste isn't roguelike thoughtbeit.

>>714514829
wait I lied, thought it was monster RANCHER

Lol this is fucking awful.

>>714514770

>>714514863
>"I have to honk, my ESA needs me"
>GOOSEBERT WAS PLANKED BY PLANKS ON HIS WAY HOME

>>714514351
Don't forget that she's also the slowest character, by far. It's about as stupid as GDQ advertising a Super Meat Boy infinite runner.

>>714514949
woohoo..

>>714514758
PS1 as well. And DS.
Switch will too. When there's a giant installbase, there's years of junk releases that come. There's also a lot of lag in system adoption in third world countries, I don't know if it's exactly the same as it was, but the likes of the PS2 was the main console in poorer countries years into the PS3's lifetime.

Fortunately ASM & Dogwater will be the much-needed palette cleansers after SGDQ

>>714513895
>Plum sticking around despite being from a failed and forgotten game
There's nothing sad about it. Sure, it'd be great if Chenso Club didn't stink, but every single Plum meme was authentic. No one was vibing to Here Comes Plum because they were paid to, they did it because they honestly loved it, and she scratched the itch that a mascot is supposed to.

And that's the thing with organic memories - just as you can't force them into existence, you can't force them out.

>>714515109

>>714514949
>GDQ
>afterparty
i wouldn't get my expectations really high anon

>one and a half hours of a slow, boring racing game

What were they THINKING?

>>714515114
The first day of ASM is going to be entertaining, watching the GDQ tourists suddenly have nothing to go on and doing the "where's the cringekino? why are they talking about the games?" thing.

>>714513637
That assumes we'd get on board with her just as much as we did Plum. If they could pull that off, we wouldn't hate Goosebert.

This wailing and cuckooing is getting old.

>>714515109
That's the fucking Worms guys.

>>714515209
everyone is watching FFIX kino anyways

>>714515209
>"The average Yuropoor is prolly out with the lads to watch divegrass rn, so let's fill up some primetime slots with jankino"

Why is every tranny in speedrun events always a dude pretending to be a girl and never the other way round?
I wonder how a gdq representative would explain that.

>>714515227
>ASM's first run is Spyro

>>714515304

Maybe sad is the wrong word for it. I love Plum, but her taking off here when her game is almost as forgotten as Hoplegs is, I dunno, weird, ironic or maybe melancholic.

I remember when that was ESA's job, now its the appetizer so that we go right into GDQ with disappointment. The tonal whiplash is gonna be wild, and the ESA runs fresh in our brains, those GDQ ratings are gonna be insane.

>>714514708
Beat that world record then if you're so great.

Fenrir can also be dark. Everyone always forgets ffxi :(

>>714515326
Any answers to this?

>>714515480
There's a dissonance because it clearly wasn't planned - ESA was meant to forget her like most ads, and Chenso was meant to move onto better things. If that's what you mean, I completely feel you. Because it's sad that things didn't go as planned. But life isn't about appreciating the good things you expect to happen, it's appreciating the good things that do.

He's getting closer to replacing BigJon

because pooners try to be super manly and dont do nerd shit like play games. except they look like 13 year old boys trying to act like jocks. they were also probably molested

Dunno, nobody has said about that.

Predict the forced meme at GDQ this year that they will constantly tell into the crowd and the donations won't shut up about.
I predict it will be the word "Chickens!"

>>714515919
I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Chenso Club might have sunk into oblivion, but in the end we got a nice mascot out of it that still gets regular OC. Some games don't even get that far before they're forgotten.

>>714516507
I predict...something in a UFO 50 game. One that shouldn't even be one of the ones speedran at a marathon that's totally ill-fitting for the format.

>>714516507
Most of the "iconic" GDQ catchphrases have come from one of the marathon's first runs of that year
We begin this year with Sonic 2, Okami and Banjo-Kazooie, so I'm betting on the bird's "PRRRIE" for jumps, also for their bird mascot

>>714516507
Probably some crap with the new Undertale or whatever it's called.

The thing with the racing games this year is that they're do all tracks runs, which makes them too long. 15 minutes in you get what its about, but then its another 1 hour 15 mins of the same shit.

There we go

The two streams feels like the two cliques currently at ESA. Stream 1 has the Playstation Nation and Stream 2 has the ESA Veterans and the last of the Old Guard

>>714516924
Let's see, Sonic 2, that has possibilities, but also it's pretty well mined for memed lines.
What you should really look for is runs that have a gimmick. "YES CHEF" came from a co-op run where the runners were doing it. "Airboat" game from an airboat gimmick run. Etc.
It drastically increases the likelihood of a runner being one to either introduce it themselves or encourage it immensely.

>>714517375
Its time for the new generation to take over

>>714516892
To be fair, Plum got popular here because we want to cum in her

Wait a minute

>>714517509

>>714517414
Oh sure, a runner forcing the cringe in is also a viable road. That's how we got the "GET IIIIN" a few ESAs ago...

>>714517717
The practice room has some fun games and you get to watch runners play in their natural habitat. I went last year

Looking at the GDQ schedule I just found out casualspeedrun, or the guy who played SOCOM at NWSF in camo facepaint, is running Siren on Wednesday

>>714517717
I would love to attend ESA or RTA. No interest in GDQ

>>714517682
Some racing games can utilize tricks here or there to skip portions of a track, but how much that can be done varies. Like something like F-Zero GX can get crazy fast if you've got the skill to pull it all off, but is also very risky. That can make the game pretty fun to watch, but not every racer has that luxury.

>>714517829
Also you can take creep pics of people

It was 16 earlier and they are still on disc 3.

they're letting the homeless play?

>>714518342
Given the deaths he faced while grinding? And the detours from $20% donations? It's actually quite plausible.

It might actually be the single most astroturfed piece of media I've ever witnessed.

That at least has the excuse of PlayStation nostalgia, when it used to be good. E33 is literally just a bunch of freemasons pretending to be human.

Because of dipshit butthurt posts like yours. Thin-skinned freemasonic buttgoy.

THE FACE OF ESA

>>714519526
It has genuinely gotten annoying to discuss any new games on /v/ because of people calling shill this, shill that, buy an ad this, buy an ad that
Like gee, what am I supposed to do, talk about old games like this is /vr/?

>>714519762
Don't discuss video games on /v/

>>714519762
Not buy freemasonic shabbos goy games that openly advertise their allegiance. You would probably shit your pants if a chud made a game including the number 88.

>>714519813

The remix is by him, the art isn't
He just never put it on YouTube on himself

>>714519813
Pretty much every single new game, AAA or not you will inevitably find a "buy an ad" post in schizo retard

>>714519762
You should know by now after all these years that /v/ can't handle people liking things that they do not like. They can't fathom the idea that other people liked something, there has to be some grand conspiracy behind it. It's an unironic autism symptom, being unable to understand why someone might like something different.

>>714519581
Actually it seems more like "people are talking about new thing" is all you saw and then you got mad.

the cute little lesbian look is doing wonders for mizzow
sothangel looks rough, maybe lose the beard and put on a wig

>>714519762
If there are a hundred points flinging shit, and only one post actually discussing the pros and cons of the game with fair reasoning and honest intent, you value that post.

And at some point, you come to realise that this is the way it has always been, everywhere you go. /v/ is just the most blunt about it.

Rixer's proven himself to be an MVP of every marathon he goes to at this point. Most people would not be trying half the games that they are if not for him digging them up and digging through them and giving people the energy to want to explore them. The day he stops speedrunning, people will feel his absence

>>714521516
ESA has marketing problems, look at how many tshirts are still for sale

>>714521485
They've went behind schedule despite being constantly under estimate

>>714521516
how do you even explain this shirt to a normalfag?

>>714521720
id buy a shirt with their logo, i dont give a shit about some dude

>>714521697
I agree. ESA could use people like him and even bigger streamers who were once speedrunners (and kinda still are, if not part-time)
If anything he is not there enough

why dont these events make new shirts in the middle of the week using the hottest memes?
for example, yes chef shirts when it was still """"funny""""? would probably make a lot of money from impulse buyers

>>714521720
Meanwhile Dogwater had the best tank top ever.

how would you, the runner, have recovered in this situation?

>>714521957
You don't think Goosebert is ESA's hottest meme?

A under appreciated quirk of European speedrunners is how many end their names with TV. It’s very 2009.

>>714521915
Ex-speedrunners are perfect for behind the scenes and community positions.

Big streamers too. I'd take a popular part-time speedrunner who'll bring in viewers to an unknown full timer.

Funny thing is I'd probably be a good fit for that shit as a non-streamer runner with an industry background in comms.

Too many people at speedrun events in general try to market themselves or push themselves too hard. Its basically attention whoring and main character syndrome e.g. Skenmy, and pic related.

Folks might still want to get some sleep if there are runs they want to catch in the morning. Especially if it's something they want to see.
There's of course some favoritism, and plenty off-stream events that people get involved in at ESA, but people just won't be around to watch everything.

This. I'm taking it relatively easy on ESA so I'm not getting bored halfway through GDQ.

where the fuck is vivi?

>>714523210
what the fuck is it with people adding -bert to the end of words recently?

the only game I can play for 14 hours straight is WoW
how does he do it for 24? 14 hours in and he's just chatting casually

>>714523446
Invading is literally in all Americans blood

>>714521697
>>714521372
As much as I like to meme on Playstation Nation only attending each other's runs and nobody elses they have really helped this year's ESA. Not just through being attendees but also by all getting together to mass submit runs, even if that meant we ended up with eight Spyros. They pretty much saved ESA run wise when all their major runners ditched them and they needed.

And also their runs are actually pretty good, both in skill and entertainment. They know when to turn it on and off. I'd take eight Spyro runs over eight Sonic runs with Argick screaming his head off and Huds and Skenmy yelling and dancing in the background. Or Crowd Control runs with Paullister and Huds going "OHHH WOW THIS IS SOOOOO WACKY OHHH THIS IS SO UNEXPECTED SOMEONE REDEEMED THE KILL MY CHARACTER" So yeah, bring on the new blood.

>>714523564
Vivi chased after Kuja.

I don't want him to be there either.

UH OH

>>714523574

>>714523680
>eight Sonic runs with Argick screaming his head off and Huds and Skenmy yelling and dancing in the background
Those three ruined UKSG

>>714523196
Just that would be big but him as an ambassador or something. I think it could be huge
All in all there is big potential for the event if everything came around together

OH GOD

HE'S DEAD

>>714523582
jarpigs aren't really the most mentally or physically taxing games

>>714523582
He said himself it's the event setting and people round him; at home he wouldn't be able to do it.

>>714523582
he's scottish, if his race can survive on weekly fried mars bars a 24h run is no biggie

>>714523680
Blink twice if Spyro is carrying a gun

>>714523217
Adef and Brutal Melo being part of that. Speaking of, Adef got super popular on Youtube recently, as in like one of his videos went viral and now he gets hundreds of thousands of views a video, enough to make a living popular. I wonder if he's gonna be at SGDQ this year or if he'll just insta drop him now he doesn't need them to prop up his career anymore.

>>714523919
This, when your blood is concentrated Irn Bru and Buckfast, you can run on pretty much anything.

>>714523919
>t. toast sandwich eater

>>714523841
At least they got their containment event now.

Isn't sitting for 24hs straight an actual health hazard due to blood clots in the legs?

>forced to play for 24 straight hours

This is actually a rough challenge

>>714524118

>>714524118
Yeah. Get up and stretch, anon.
Mizzow has been moving and getting up here and there, but that's still plenty sitting.

>>714524118
DVT is greatly exaggerated

>>714524118
He takes breaks, like he had a scheduled shower break an hour ago.

>>714518342
They should call these endurance runs rather than speedruns and keep them to one major instance per event. Ideally if it has some form of multi-runner group interactions which keep banter going and it's not one guy sitting there for a full day.

>>714524118
the game is keeping his blood pressure higher so its okay

>>714524118
They are true SPEEDRUNNERS. Expert athletes training their whole lives. Their bodies in peak physical conditioning for these harsh environments

>>714524261
And remember to hydrate! btw why don't ESA remind people to hydrate? What if they forget!?

>>714524180
The worst part is that he was struck by a glitch that killed the gold frog he was using to farm frogs.

>>714524316
Vax status?

>>714524109
Nah fuck them for trying to take over UKSG. The sonic blocks every day were bad enough, but they were donation reading or commentating on what seemed like every run

>>714522047
He could have salvaged this honestly. He was only 45 minutes into a 3 hour estimate, if he played well he might only go like 15 mins over estimate.

Argick has been at BSG before, I think.

>>714524632
I remember looking at his website and it said he graduated with a degree in Physics, then moved to LA to become an actor. Now he's a Youtuber/GDQ grifter

>>714524632
I just remember him being part of an agency and shilling his resume on twitter for acting jobs to hire him and putting GDQ on his resume. It all just felt to me like he was doing GDQ to further his career and be on a screen, rather than for speedrunning puporses. I could be wrong though. We'll see what he does now that he has success and doesn't need GDFQ anymore.

>>714524732
just a little rough when the run before last was an hour and a half of racing

Yeah that's entirely because of Metako's runs.

This. I'm only really knowledgable about horror speedruns but I don't get why guys like Carcinogen, Bawk, Maxylobes who still stream purely speedruns on twitch everyday (or nearly) and have been regulars in the past never show up to new events to support the up and coming speedrunners and the overall community. It's great to have veterans who can do high-level commentary due to their experience but may not be as viable for actual runs anymore.

>>714524657
They are, ctrl+fing their names show they're couching for Sonic Adventure 2.

>>714524616
aww

>>714524493
I'm doin' him a B

ummm

You rarely see a lot of big speedrunners at these events because they don't need to be there. A lot of people use these events as self promotion. Yes its the charity aspect too, but for a lot of speedrunners it's also getting your name out to thousands, and networking. The big boys just don't need that.

Which is a shame because when they do get one it is a pretty big deal and there is a noticeable bump in viewership. I remember when ESA got Cheese one year and got him drunk, it was fun.

Well well well, look who is it

This guy again, he sure loves his racing games.

>>714524863
Monster Racer? Shovelware conga line? That was barely a game, let alone a racing one.
Now frogs will play Ze Originel Gran Turismo.

french racists are go

>>714524493
B

Why are there so many French runners this year?

>>714524905
What a monster, having people donate money to charity in order to have a giggle at some people. Glad he's permanently banned.

Grande Tureezmo time, lads!

>>714525127
And so do I

>>714524932
Most of the times, like in everything, the egos are too big

>>714525102
Nice cope Edenal, but the humans don’t show up because of your BORG policies.

>>714525102
It also has to do with wanting to be with friends and like some people to be there and go again

Which would you prefer:
>Nobody in the crowd but high stream views
>Lots of people in the crowd but no stream views

Why do the French love racing games?

Where's the Playstation Nation gone for this landmark title?

>>714525270
crowd, so people at the actual event have fun

>>714525285
French love racing in general. Tour De France, Grand Prix, Formula 1. So it translates to gaming too.

>>714525359
didn't think of it like that. Based people.

>racing game
>frog runner

I'm kinda racing game'd out at this point. We've talked a lot about the amount of Spyro but there was way too many long racing games on this year too. Thanks ChatGPT.

>>714525441
For sure. The choice of games has been very weak and the schedule was shit

>>714525193
>Glad he's permanently banned.
He probably is, if only because Planks has proven to be that petty with other people.

I'm going back to stream 2

>>714525441
problem is the race runs are too fucking long, make them 30 mins and it'd be fine

>>714525503
Yeah, it's not been a trainwreck but it has been quite bland overall.

>American hat on the commie goose game goose
based

Escudo Pikes Peak? Check. No braking? Check. Ignoring pitstops as I use the barrier to steer my car around the track? Yep, it’s Gran Turismo time.

>>714525592
how is that goose a commie, explain

>endgame
>>still 10 hours left
hmm.

>>714525270
I don't care about stream views whatsoever. The only people that comment in twitch chat are low iq categorically

is the super mario sunshine choke on youtube anywhere?

>>714525559
yes

>>714525616
Forza on 360 online was peak, kinda like Mario Kart all the kids crash on the first curve and it's smooth sailing from there in your itasha RX-7.

>>714525692
But it's 10 European nighttime hours, so that's like only 2 hours left for those who go to sleep now.

MIG QUICKLY!!

The getting to Ozma is very random, and the fight isn't anything like a dead certain.

>>714524398
Trying to take over? Paulister used to be the lead org, Huds is the new lead org, and Argick handles a bunch of tech. They're all staff!

>>714525102

>>714525269
This. And in terms of self-promotion, supporting these big events when they come around and helping them be as fun and engaging as possible helps keep the overall community afloat. If people aren't interested in the major events, then speedrunning as a whole will finally bite the dust and then no one will care to watch the vets. It's all entertwined.
Seeing caveman show up out of the blue in last years (GDQ?) was a minor highlight and was universally well-received here. People tune in to these events for the people watching, the lore (past historic runs or cringekino), the community, and the hobby itself.

Devs gave a shoutout to Karl Marx at The Game Awards

>>714525887
Go to fucking bed now and you will be.

>>714525893
Dig deeper. That's one dev who hijacked the IP and was the least competent one. The rest of the staff were screwed over and had a far more centrist array of opinions. Commie subversion claims another one

>>714525579
Its definitely playing it safe, which I don't mind. Nothing phenomenal or mindblowing but no disasters either, but that also means no disaster kino. I think playing it safe was the right choice.

>>714525559
Agreed. I said it earlier but you get the jist around 15 minutes in, but then there's like 45 minutes to go, and a lot of the tracks are the same. Just do one cup or tournament IMO but they've all been "all tournaments"

>>714525503
Feels like a lot of the game choices are samey. Same franchises or genres. However since the runners submitting runs are more limited than other years as everyone cleared off from ESA, it makes sense. We're seeing a lot of the same runners pop up again and again this year. You make the best with what you do and so with the choice of runners you have, you just ask them to run what they know, which is often the same types of games.
